Training an entire team in this approach is the best way to apply the full spectrum of CBT-p services. Counselors, therapists, and others who are licensed to provide therapy would be responsible for high- and low- intensity psychotherapy interventions. Other members of the team (case manager, supported employment specialist, nurse, recovery specialist, etc.) provide REP within the context of their job duties and that is appropriate to their scope of practice. In this way, the team can be unified by a common language and model for intervention. Team members can also support one another in developing and coordinating interventions based on the CBTp model. The core goal of the stepped-care approach to CBT-p is to engage individuals at the most appropriate level to assist them in a process of defining and improving their personal quality of life. Treatment in a larger context Recovery Enhancement Practices are not a standalone approach; instead, they can interact with a number of other interventions. A person with schizophrenia would do well with access to a variety of services (See Section 1 Highlights). Notice that REP fits well with the other services in this model. Please note that the person (i.e., client) is at the center of the model to indicate the critical importance of his or her choices. Outcomes are improved with an integrated, specialized team-based approach.
